Week in Review

Week 3… 2021!

Oh my…. it sure is a crazy year! And so it continues…. Joe Biden is sworn in as President of the United States of America, and started working on reversing a number of the items that Trump ‘did’…such as reinstating the USA into the Paris (Climate) Agreement.

So, what are my two highlights for the week gone…

  1. Liteboxer! – With lockdown continuing for the foreseeable future (until everyone is vaccinated), home working out continues to grow. Peloton has become huge – and continues to grow – but new to the market and growing very quickly is LiteBoxer. It’s $1,495 and called the Peloton for Boxing. Whilst it’s much more than a traditional punch bag… there’s so many more, new innovative, devices that are being released to help you continue as you were at home!
  2. PS5 – Got your PlayStation 5? – well… this week, there was a huge restock of the games of the games console… and it caused absolute chaos online! Over 160,000 people were trying to access Currys PC Works website at one point on Wednesday!! Now… there’s two elements to this…1) You can’t physically wait in line, so you have to be in a virtually queue…. and 2) Bots. Yes, Bots. One in particular Carnage Bot tweeted it had secured 2,000 PS5 consoles from Game’s supply of fresh stock! (How?… they scan the online retailers… and the exact second they’re released… the Bots go in and buy them!)

So there you go… boxing at home (guess Connor McGregor could utilize one of these machines!) and Bots taking your PS5’s.

Remember folks… stay safe!
